Sam Pilafian was at a french horn workshop I was at a couple weeks ago; we talked tubas (of course? how could we not? when I took my little 182 with me also....) and he offered to let me try his Besson CC, which he is very fond of and which he wishes they would make more of. Unfortunately the CC and I did not end up in the same place at the same time when it would have been appropriate for me to try it (rats and double rats.)

But Sam gives a fantastic breathing clinic and plays the absolute H out of the tuba!! (have you ever heard a C two leger lines above the TREBLE clef??) And the after-hours improvisation session was a complete blast. Two tubas (Sam and me) and about 20 horns. Really fabulous fun!
